Hi Alan Bell; Re: When a driver wants to assert a high, it doesn't do anything. When it wants to assert a low value, it sinks exactly enough current to pull the characteristic impedance (and terminator value) down 0.4 v to 1.4v which is the reference voltage level. While John Walliker agreed with this, I believe it to be incorrect: The RDRAM outputs are current mode. They put out enough current to drop the voltage at the point of connection by about 0.4volts. Thus the drop isn't necessarily to 1.4v, instead the drop is to the "launch" voltage minus 0.4 volts. What John figured out is that there may be cases where the "launch" voltage is already dropped by 0.8 volts. -- Carl
